            Status: NEW
         Component: linux-libertine-fonts
           Product: Fedora

In Fedora, the "main" font of this package is named "Linux Libertine".
Presumably through a fontconfig file.

If you run any other distribution (or OS) and download the fonts from upstream
or somewhere else, they are named "Linux Libertine O".

This is bad, because for example Libreoffice will record the Fedora-only "Linux
Libertine" and it will look wrong to others, even if they got the font.

I propose changing the name to "Linux Libertine O" and adding an alias for the
old name, as not to break things for Fedora users.

I think the same applies to the Biolinum font, but I haven't checked that

(iirc this has been the case for all versions that I know)
